Notes

Custom sequences

You can customise when a set of scripts are run by adding your own <Custom /> element inside your <InstallExecuteSequence /> element. eg.

      <InstallExecuteSequence>
        <Custom Action="PowerShellScriptsDeferred" After="RegisterUser">NOT Installed</Custom>
      </InstallExecuteSequence>

The four defined actions are:

  1. PowerShellScriptsDeferred
  2. PowerShellScriptsElevatedDeferred
  3. PowerShellFilesDeferred
  4. PowerShellFilesElevatedDeferred

Inline Scripts

  • Be aware that if your inline script uses square brackets , you'll need to escape them like [\[] [\]] otherwise they will be interpreted as MSI properties (unless that is what you wanted!)
